Sorry,
but your rage is completely unecessary. If a person sits on the outside seat it is for a reason, not to annoy you. The seat is still vacant on the inside and all you have to do is ask and they will sit up and allow you access. I generally sit on the outside seat because I only have a few stops to go and do not want to have to bumble past the guy at the outside.

There is NO law stating you must 'move right in' to the window seat..I can sit anywhere I choose, and unless I have all my shit on the seat next to me, then I see no problem with sitting on the outside seat leaving the inside one vacant, empty and ready for an angry commuter to sit down in it.

There's no law against getting on the 'bus/train/tube with a stupid mobile 'phone playing stupid music
But it still pisses absolutely everyone off when someone does it.

Rage? Moi?

I've got no problem with people sitting on outside seat if they wish.
Thassa why I said it annoys me when it's "crowded" and they ignore people standing around them. I know all people have to do is ask- unfortunately some people can be too intimidated (depending on who they're asking!) I ask- no probs. Again, what annoys me when the person who moves seems pissed off about it, and tries to me feel like an inconvenience.

I agree, it makes more sense to sit on the outside if you are getting off soon...

It's just about manners and consideration.

Exactly
Don't pick an outside seat and then put the onus on others to ask you to show a little consideration. It doesn't hurt to swivel 90 degrees to make it easier for others to squeeze past you without having to clamber over your legs.

I have read your post and have decided you're a cock.

Same here
I sit on the outside seat on the train to avoid the heater and to avoid being trapped by people who are more interested in reading their books than in getting off the train.
